The RN-2903-PICTAIL from Microchip is a RN2903 LoRa Technology PICtail/PICtail Plus daughter board. The RN2903 LoRa Technology PICtail/PICtail Plus daughter board is a development board that showcases the Microchip RN2903 low-power long range, LoRa technology transceiver module. Development of a LoRa system with the RN2903 connected to Microchip's PIC MCU line is possible on PIC18 Explorer boards via the 28-pin PICtail connector or on Explorer 16 boards using the 30-pin card edge PICtail Plus connector. The PICtail board also has an on-board PIC18 MCU available for custom user functions. It is pre-programmed to provide a simple USB-to-UART serial bridge enabling easy serial connection. Demonstration of the RN2903 is performed by plugging the daughter board into a USB port of a PC. The USB port powers the daughter board and enables the user to communicate using the RN2903's simple ASCII command interface.
